SHELDON, N.Y. — A Wyoming County man is facing several charges following a crash with a motorcyclist Sunday evening.
The accident happened on State Route 20A in the Town of Sheldon.
The Wyoming County Sheriff's Office says a driver of a pickup truck was pulling out of a driveway into the westbound lane of State Route 2OA and into the path of the motorcycle.
